Small Flowering Aquatics - Van Ness Water Gardens

Not sure where this plant gets its name but the leaves are about the size of a quarter and scalloped. The flower is like a star with scalloped, curved, enlaced petals. An Extra ordinary plant that is highly adaptable to many situations. For small or large ponds, it is often planted with taller bog plants to offset the dimension. On its own or outlining a bog area, it is a winner.

Parrot Feather
Myriophyllum aquaticum

View Larger Image

A favorite for trailing over fountain basins or from margins of raised pools but equally effective in other pond areas, these evergreen natives of South America will remind you of a miniature pine forest. Their feathery, peridot hued leaves grow in thick whorls around their stems, rising six to eight inches from the water. In late summer the tips turn crimson contrasting sharply with the greenery. Dainty cream-colored flowers appear in early spring to add to the delightful picture. Parrot Feather is also very useful. It helps keep your pool water in proper chemical balance since it competes with algae for the pool's nutrients and sunlight. It assists in keeping the water clean. Its foliage supplies your fish with food, a spawning bed and a hiding place for their youngsters. Parrot Feather is very hardy and a vigorous grower. (Evergreen)
